The Penguin Color Grading

If you've seen the show, you've likely noticed its distinctive look, part of which could be attributed to The Penguin 's color grading, which was overseen by Picture Shop 's supervising DI colorist Pankaj Bajpai. Bajpai had previously collaborated with three of the four cinematographers and was involved with The Penguin from the outset. The Penguin 's eight episodes were broadcast in the United States in Autumn 2024 and the show has received critical acclaim for its performances, writing, direction and production value.
